![]() | Geology and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Eastern Overthrust: Knoxville, Tennessee to Washington, D.C., July 2023, 1989 Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 368. The basin is filled mostly with Paleozoic carbonate and siliciclastic rock. Late Precambrian sedimentary strata and volcanic rocks are minor constituents. In general, most of the siliciclastic sediments of the basin were derived from sources to the north and east, especially from tectonic highlands raised by the Taconic, Acadian, and Alleghanian orogenies. As a result, shales, sandstones, and red beds dominate much of the Paleozoic sequence of eastern Pennsylvania, whereas marine carbonate rocks dominate equivalent strata in the Plateau regions of Tennessee, Georgia, and northern Alabama. Robert C. Milici and Wallace de Witt are the authors of Geology and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Eastern Overthrust: Knoxville, Tennessee to Washington, D.C., July 20 - 23, 1989, Volume T368, published by Wiley. |
